Frame text

By tapping in the drawn frame then typing, you're able to fill the frame with frame text. If excess text overflows the bottom of the frame, you can either reduce the text's font size or make the text frame larger; both methods will make the text fit the frame.

If there's too much text to fit in a frame, any overflowing text will be stored in an invisible overflow area. To indicate overflowing text, an adjacent eye icon appears, allowing you to show or hide the overflowing text.

To create frame text:

With the Frame Text Tool selected:

Drag on the page. This sets the initial size of the text frame.
Do one of the following:
- Type your text.
- Paste previously copied text.

Resizing text frames

When resizing a frame you can control whether:

Text remains at its set size and reflows through the frame.
Text scales as the frame is resized.

To reflow text with frame resize:

With the text frame selected, do one of the following:

To resize height and width simultaneously, drag the object's corner handles.
To resize height and width independently, drag the object's edge handles.

To scale text with frame resize:

With the text frame selected, drag the object's scale handle (extends from the bottom-right corner of the selection).

By default, the scaling maintains the aspect ratio of frame text and text frame.
